If you’ve got a 2006 Toyota Tundra (I don’t but was actually considering buying one until I bought the 2006 Chevrolet Pickup Crew Cab because it has more room), then you’ve got a recall on your vehicle. Apparently this recall has to do with the exterior lighting, and some amber lights. Here’s the info about the recall, straight from the source.
Make sure you read the note at the end of the recall, because this recall only pertains to aftermarket replacement equipment and has no relation to any original equipment installed on the Toyota Tundra. More specifically, it has to do with the CK Motorsports Combination Headlights.
